Baby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit - 100% Cotton Baby Transition Swaddle - Baby Sleep Suit - Yellow - 6-9 Months

Product Information

However, once babies can roll over on their own it’s no longer safe to swaddle your baby for sleep. This is because they need to be able to use their hands to help push their face up off the mattress if they roll to their tummy while sleeping. It’s important to remember that just because your baby can fit in the size does not mean they are in the correct developmental stage for the sleep suit. Developmentally, if your baby is younger than 3 months old, they may still need to be swaddled. The feel of the magic sleepsuit may not be right for them yet and you will not experience the “magic” of the sleepsuit. Transitioning out of the Magic Sleepsuit We did- but this is going to vary greatly by the temperature in your home (not necessarily the outside temp).

Designed by a pediatric physical therapist, the Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit is designed specifically to help your baby continue to get good sleep when it’s time to transition out of a swaddle. It’s available in four colors (blue, pink, cream or yellow) and two sizes (3-6 months or 6-9 months), as well as in a microfleece option or jersey cotton. The Magic Sleepsuit is designed for a specific developmental window. If introduced too early (when baby should still be swaddled) or too late (when they have been out of the swaddle for a while and are ready for more freedom of movement) it will not be the right match. After hearing about the merlin sleep suit, we knew we owed it to ourselves to at least give it a try – what did we have to lose?

Pros and Cons

Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit was developed by a mama, who also happens to be a Pediatric Physical Therapist, that wanted to provide a comfortable and secure sleep environment for babies once it’s time to transition out of their swaddle. Swaddling can be a great tool if done safely to help your newborn get those long stretches of sleep. This keeps them cozy and prevents their own arm movements, or startle reflexes, from waking them up. Once babies can roll over on their own, it is no longer safe for them to sleep in a swaddle since now they’ll need their hands free to push that little face-off of the mattress if they roll to their tummy. The Magic Sleepsuit allows your baby’s arms and legs to be free but is padded to keep them snug and muffle those movements. A few tips to make sure baby’s temperature doesn’t get too hot in the magic merlin suit is to use appropriate layers and be sure the room temperature isn’t too hot. There is no weighting or weighting material of any type in the Magic Sleepsuit. It is made of three layers of fabric only – jersey cotton, polyfil, and jersey cotton or microfleece.” Does the type of filling or materials used to accomplish “heaviness” have any bearing on the garment’s safety?

It didn’t take long for me to realize that Lil B strongly associated his baby Merlin with “Time to Sleep.” So whether we were at home or trying to get baby to sleep while traveling, he knew that within a few minutes of snuggling into the suit, he was expected to be off to dreamland sooner rather than later.
